Putting down 25% on a primary and 30% down on second and Investment properties is called a limited review. When you put less down then there is a full review if the project is not already approved.


You need to see the approved budget. if the reserves are less than 10%, no deal

also reviewed the insurance policy and the sinkhole coverage was 10% when it needs to be 5%. It is important to do your homework before paying for home inspections and appraisals, the condo review team really does its job in the end, and better to be prepared beforehand.
